Tom Wall (30 May 1941 – 5 October 1992) was a British landscape painter and educator. ==Biography== Born in Balham, London, he moved with his family to Bryhonddu in Wales at the age of 10, later studying at Newport College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. It is believed that the countryside around Abergavenny inspired his enduring relationship with art and landscape.〔"Sudden death of artist Tom Wall" (obituary) unsigned, ''Abergavenny Chronicle'', 5 November 1992.
